Leeds United’s form took a turn for the better with a six-game unbeaten streak, but a loss to Newcastle United highlighted the need for further changes within the team.
After a rocky start to the season, the Whites found themselves in the relegation zone. Calls for Daniel Farke’s sacking were circulating, but the club managed to turn things around. With a healthy eight-point lead over the relegation zone, Leeds has shown significant improvement in the second half of the season.
Farke’s tactical adjustments and player selection have been crucial to the team’s recent success. By switching up the system and experimenting with different player roles, Leeds secured impressive victories over top teams like Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Some players have excelled under these new tactics, producing their best performances of the season.
However, the recent injury to Joe Rodon has highlighted the team’s lack of depth at center back. Bornauw has had to step in, leaving Leeds vulnerable in that position. As a result, Leeds are eyeing Union Berlin defender Danilho Doekhi as a potential transfer target. The Dutchman is eager to join the club, but negotiations over the fee are ongoing.
With the season reaching a critical stage, Leeds must prioritize strengthening their squad. Securing the deal for Doekhi would provide much-needed depth and stability, ensuring that the team can maintain their current momentum. Fans will be hoping that the club does not repeat past mistakes by delaying important transfer decisions.
